boy george & culture club - church of the poison mind

[019208237]

5 people dont appreciate a great song.. oh well there loss..

[TheNewsoul2]

totally underrated band, deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as the U2's, Duran Duran and other great 80's groups because their songs were great r&b/soul/pop music.

[67bellagioia]

Grande George,con i Culture Club....idolo sei miei 16 anni ! <3<3<3

[irobot2009able]

culture club i think were a excellent band they beat any garbage thats out there now i still listen to them there music will never go stale thanks for the video and memories tha twill also will never grow stale

[joe90027]

to answer the fellow below the church of the poisioned mind is about drug use and what it does to you. at least 3 people died in boy georges home do to a drug overdose.

[jo25182518]

this song was one of my fav's from culture club. they never played it enough back then on the radio...

[thedarthflagger]

jon was soooooooooooooooooo cute.

[andydoca]

this song is great it always brings me back to my youth and memories of my brother who past away few weeks ago R.I.P peter i will alway be thinking of you.

[TheBookWorm1718]

Good song but after all these years it still irritates the hell out of me, exactly WHAT is the church of the poison mind?

[TheIlovelife1231]

love his danceing :) boy george is my icon :D i will love him forever :D

[MelodyAku]

In the 80's everything was better, the style, the songs, the singers, I mean wow. I think if all th 80's singers all made a come back I'd die of happiness.

[ChanceRooney7]

Is that Arethra Franklin doing back up vocal?

[sdh483]

@ChanceRooney7

no, good guess though. Her name is Helen Terry. She's got a great set of pipes on her.

[Lajazz947]

@ChanceRooney7 Nope, I thought so too and googled the voice in the video. Its someone else but she has a great voice doesn't she?

[thedarthflagger]

@Lajazz947that voice is the voice of helen terry. she's been singing backup for george for years.

[thedarthflagger]

@ChanceRooney7 nope helen terry.

[bacilo19]

@thedarthflagger

Helen Terry is amazing

[Peoria3165]

This a great tune...Big time Motown feel to it! Great driving music! The Boy's a freak, but he can sing, baby! So can Helen! Videos were fun back in the early 80s...the beginning of MTV...'Love is so hard to find, in the church of the poised mind!'

[koreamy]

This takes me back to my early 20's in New York City-good times :)

[tonybklyn]

he had the most infectious smile back in the day (Boy George).

[drogheda1966]

Fun times, gr-reat song...

[hibeegirl17]

i love boy george...always have....from the first days of culture club with john moss...watched a programme on him on the bbc latley and made me love him even more...................george i love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxx

[Sheri451]

I LOVED the 1980s I LOVED Boy George! I used to want to brush his beautiful hair,

[winterguru]

Boy George looks so cool in this video!!

[hibeegirl17]

@winterguru gfeorge looks cool in any video xxxx

[CAL2177]

The 80's was the last of great rock and pop music. After that is one long list of one hit wonders and rap. No more melodies, no more remarkable lyrics, no more quality. Despite what you may think of Boy George and his group, they were very talented young men and should have gone on to greater things.

[htownjesse]

@CAL2177 -We have that to keep with us. You are quite right, it's all come & go now. No one to look up to & "worship". Those were the best days!

[RednailVal]

1:28 .. the eyes .. omg.

[gtell79]

Boy George is a genius. This song is as good as it gets on all levels.

[maince2008]

great song

[Mattyuk1]

Reminds me when i discovered 80's music again in 1998. Great records back then!

[56814927]

il be honest im not gay but my fav artists are boy george,george micheal,elton john ,will young to name a few so sexual orientation has nutin to do wit music

[htownjesse]

@56814927 -Good for you. Music is universal. Warms my heart to hear that!

[Youtoo2128]

Filmed on South Street Philly?

[springtime65]

Such wonderful memories..:+)

[peter97624]

Boy looks like he's enjoying the video shoot. I do too !!!

[DARKANGELsenpai]

esta es buena muzik q pasa de generacion en generacion

gracias mamá por enseñarme buena musik :)

[torilbruce]

there's still no one like boy george.love him still............words from tori's mom Sandra

[ipreferlemondrop]

@torilbruce HAHAHAHA your mom uses your account to comment on Boy George videos?! What a failure.

[torilbruce]

@ipreferlemondrop oh whatever. its not even a big deal.

[grandeline]

he is the cutest for me here

[doveside1]

the backing singer is Carmel and She is fantastic

[moonfaeriemagick]

Its Helen Terry now exec producer for The Brits

[stargirlyful]

are you a boy or girl cause sound like a boy even thow you look like a

girl

[alexawhynacht]

hes so gorgous here .. <3 boy george 4 ever

[aeronuk1]

does anyone know which part of london the first part of the video was filmed in?

[frododarg]

@aeronuk1 east end neighbborhood

[aeronuk1]

@frododarg u could be right. i thought it might have been south london as that's where boy george is from, it's hard to tell..

[gamoodybluesfan]

LOVE THIS! Thanks for the post!!!

[plumrdude]

I agree that back up singer should be Black.... Freakin' racists.... lol :)

[kimbateman87yahoocom]

and why do we care what color he is? has anyone ever heard teena marie shes white as well....

[meter1]

i maynot be gay...but the mutha was sexy as hell!!

[boyrogers1]

You dont' have to be gay to find another member of the same sex attractive, it just means you're in touch with yourself and are confortable in your skin. Personally i found the drummer REALLY attractive (and i am gay).

[spookydshow]

Yeah man !! That white chick can blow!!!!!

[trickywillet]

This band, had it not imploded, would have gone further than they got but, thankfully, they got as far as they did....

[stevieplez2]

I used to think that was a black chick singing, but it's a white chick blowing like that...

[cheshiremouse]

Why is everybody so hung up on their sexual orientation? Who cares?  The music is great, the video is great.

[boyrogers1]

It's usually when people have hang up's with their own sexuality that they focus on others (the oldest trick in the book).

[ashleesbitch11]

@cheshiremouse what r u talkin about ? he isnt gay is he?

[MrBUBBADUMP]

@cheshiremouse

I like chicken.

[123456789jklmn]

Thought I go back in time to remember what BG sounds like. Recently watched the 2009 concert. A little of a difference.

Thanks for sharing this classic. Such a wonderful person.

[AshtinBraedy2013]

Loveeeee it.

[voicebeyond]

Aha, Aha, ahahahahahahahahahh!

[voicebeyond]

He's a real man!

[rpdrama64]

I love it! We need more Boy George's in this sorry world! Thank you for posting this! :-)

[729claudia]

Un claro ejemplo, que nada tiene que ver las preferencias sexuales. Sin duda un excelente grupo, con el mando de Miss Boy George. Muchas felicidades Culture Club, ojala sigan unidos, y con muchos mas exitos.

[plumrdude]

I love this song could somebody please give me the meaning of it??

[FlyWithMeToEternity]

<333333

[peter97624]

2009 -- and still NOTHING LIKE HIM !! I MISS 'CULTURE CLUB' ! Nothing good like them anymore !

[717men]

This is my favorite song that features Helen Terry's great pipes.

[antlersinthewoods]

sombitch is queer as a football bat

[76lovelight76]

I've always had a crush on George he is so incredibly HOT!!!!

[mharrin5507]

[amy37100]

I loved this group so much that i was boy george for halloween in 7th grade

[rakgtr]

lol faggot

[chax1971]

all of them were, not just one....Should have been called Faggot's Club

[sealie15]

@chax1971

that is such an ignorant thing to say.

[chax1971]

@ sealie15 Hey thanks, I really wanted your opinion.

Happy Christmas.

[AlbertusAlbertatron]

Very Kempy.

[mikedtn]

The 80's music was so much fun unlike today with the shit thats out.

[gorillabelly1]

True. Doubt we'll ever hear on the radio anytime soon Mexican Radio II or I Wanna Be A Cowboy (Again).

[5litreho]

Wonderful song, but what a bunch of Flamers!!!!!!!

[newphx]

This song is so much fun...love how Boy George and Helen Terry sing their asses off with so much joy in their voices! Great, great song!! Motown and the UK together!

[Jimanji061]

My Mom Love Him So Much & shes Black . lol I think they are cool :) , I like his style !

[anderfisch3]

i remember this song when i was a kid i love it

[ystrad47]

helen terrys voice is awesome wat a fantastic song

[76lovelight76]

boy goerge is HOT!!!!

[geo0415]

I saw these guys perform this song in San Francisco before the album came out. Regardless of his gender...this dude jammed and the band was incredible. One of my favorites...but most of thier songs are my favorites.

[ponfarr69]

My mother was in LOVE with his voice! I liked his persona and voice. Culture Club 4-ever  The first record I ever bought!

[canesrule]

I was 9 when CC first got big and I was shocked when my mom told me that wasn't a girl.

[RangerRocket1]

I was in ninth grade when they first came on TV and my dad was SHOCKED when I told him Boy George was a man.

[vikingswinsuperbowl]

The Culture Club was by far the best band ever.

[miyy4u2004]

i have always liked boy george and culture club since i was 12, homosexual or not, he is who he is and a great singer from the 80's, its too bad Culture Club is still touring and making more hits, MISS YOU BLIND Culture Club!

[SB9P4]

the best song of culture club

[zxhamstring]

I concur with that thought !

[SylviaYork]

One of the best CC songs ever.

Helen Terry really helped this song ROCK!

[angryerik]

For real? This is my absolute fave CC track. It's awesome on MANY levels. Seriously.

[SylviaYork]

Mine too :)

[andrewpeter01]

He looks so cute!

[4818632]

I copied his moves from that video my whole last year of High School.

[IronManXXX]

I love George..he is so unique and such a unique individual....live on George..we love you...

[MegaRapture]

culture club rocked! boy george may have problems but hes a real star with talent unlike nowadays.

[the80slady]

Why couldn't Boy George just look like that forever? He was sooooo handsome. xDD

[Korvack]

Those were and still are my wishes

[perpetual61]

one of my favorite CC songs ever !

[thedudetoendalldudes]

is that a reefer behind jon's ear?

[IronManXXX]

Love George's voice..and his videos..like to impregnate his back up singer..she is hot!!

[KarmaChameleonDoll]

HE is Hot!

[electronictrip]

THAT CAR LOOKS HUGE!!! love this song!

[2008ljr]

That is a 1959 Cadillac.

[beautysreturn]

In this church of the poisoned mind..Great song so young and beautiful,all of them...CULTURE CLUB are the best group ever....

[bebageorge]

[SB9P4]

[123456789jklmn]

Still a classic song....

Bring back memories....Thanks for sharing

[spyderj1999]

this has such a Motown vibe to it.. LOVE IT!!!

[2BeNoticed]

Who is the BBW singing backup? Mannn she can wail. Great choice they made putting her in.

[spyderj1999]

Helen Terry is her name. And you're right she can definitely blow!!!

[thyronl2]

what a great song, i hope everyone realizes you were just treated to two of the greatest voices to ever step in front of a mike...boy george and helen terry.

[bebageorge]

Boy George

is my life

and i cant

live without

him

he is everything

to me

I_LOVE_BOY_GEORGE

♥♥♥♥!!!!!!

[SB9P4]

FREE BOY GOERGE

[lyn10807]

He is free and was a week ago!

[deucieboy]

yes

[julieswahn]

This one was always my favorite.. and I had forgotten how beautiful Boy was. He still is, just in a different way. Dorky video but fun!

[forestgumpaed]

i could kick myself know,of course it was Helen Terry.

[forestgumpaed]

no that was Alison Moyet .i dont know the singer without looking into it ,but one thing for sure she had a cracking voice.

[cruz3d]

Is the female backup singer on this song the lead singer of Yazzoo?

[supraguido]

While alison moyet did do some work with culture club that particular woman is not her. The woman in question is Helen Terry. A voice in her own right.

[jazzyfayy1983]

i remember when i first saw culture club they performed on solid gold back in 82, i remember we was like is that a man or a women that look like a man ha ha.

[silvastrands30]

favourite song by them, 1983, what a year

[xcharmed4evaxpiperx]

I have to sing this song in the musical Taboo! There turning it into a Jazzy number, really weird how this song might turn out lol

[drewgoloid]

0:32 - 0:45 isn't he wonderful!!!

[granpriz]

I remember when this video first aired....love it....i was too young to know that something was wrong with him...i mean we were young kids (black) and mtv was everything to us...sad how he fell from grace

[splifmonster]

faggot!!!!

[thunderheights]

@ splifmonster....you're an asshole...go to Hell!

[thunderheights]

splifmonster...you're an asshole...go to Hell

[jawce1956]

WHAT IS THIS SONG ABOUT???

[furyplum44]

Can you imagine a world without boy george? it would be grey and boring, George, you are everyones light :D

[robertdennis58]

kinky .

[doctalee]

This was the best song by them by far

[superfreakzz]

He has like, the perfect wink. ;]

[ticojonticojon]

pretty pretty george : ) can't wait til next year's april

[DRSTRANGELOVE105]

Boy George Working Class Hero!!Showed up yank press when he was doing community service by telling them 'My mum was a cleaner so FUCK OFF!!

[hoffenpot]

Ah, one of my favorite Culture Club songs! The riff is ripped from Stevie Wonder's "Uptight (Everything's Alright)". In fact, it's so similar, I'm surprised Stevie didn't sue (about the same time period was the Huey Lewis/Ray Parker Jr. imbroglio about "I Want A New Drug" & "Ghostbusters"). I love this song anyway. Boy George sings his soulful way with Helen Terry wailing away with the counter vocal (too bad she was never an official member of the group).

[SB9P4]

FREE BOY GEORGE RIGHT NOW

[ACrackInTheWall2006]

Back before George O' Dowed was crazy

[123456789jklmn]

Love this video too. Can't get enough of his songs. Love this look. Remember him in this look when I went to his concert at Maple Leaf Garden in Toronto. Great performance at the concert. Hope he come back someday with the Culture Club.

[ilovepepe2]

great song and cute video...like it when he winks at the end

[passionateaboutmusic]

Such a happy tune!!!! Puts you in a good mood.....and with George and Helen's beautiful voices......PERFECTION!!

[raydeen2k]

My second fav song off that album. Miss Me Blind was my top fav.

[ruberyb45]

Would it matter if she did sound black. I think not !!

[puremanna]

Helen Terry does not sound Black.

[Diva474]

Actually ...she does.

[UrbanistaSistah]

Actually, she's trying to sound Black.

[colorsplashes]

Actually,she's not trying to sound black,she's actually singing her happy ass off!! She can actually sing very very very well.Over in their country they love the blues,just so happens they can take that and respect it,it should be a compliment to our blues singers.Music is a beautiful feeling,don't you think...this is said with respect.

[orzabal1983islove]

i TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE CAPTION FOR THIS VID LOL! LOVE IS SO DAMN HARD TO FIND

[LoveYourDNA]

A true innovator !!

[cne08]

Free Boy George.

[tonyskins19]

who is the chubby white lady that sounds black,they should have gotten her a record deal

[honeegrrl]

She sung back up for the group on quite a few songs but she does have a good voice.

[emmiibaybee13]

shes helen terry , i know , she has an amazing voice :)

[usamud]

The good old days...

This is my favorite. I got to meet the Boy in the early 90's. He was still cute and it was all good. I have the picture on the wall. It was at a rave he was giving.

[walklo99]

Lucky bastard!!!

[DeafTuber]

Damn! Where did he find Helen Terry? She's AWESOME.

And - Look how short their other guys hair was!

They also looked so happy...

[Angelica1909]

lol

fucking gay

[76lovelight76]

Lovely voice. love you George

[DeafTuber]

Wow I agree. The Boy CAN SING!!! I miss this group!

[TubeBoober]

I agree too!

I LOOOOOVE Boy George!!

He know he got major singin skillz!!

Bringz back tons of memories!!

[Aysgarth1]

Probably the best Culture Club song. Simply brilliant!

[10bit]

you got that right.

[trhnlhi]

He's a great artist just be prepared to be chained up if you have sex with him LOL

[RK831]

This is one of my favorite Culture Club songs, along with Karma Chameleon and The War Song. Great singing talent, no doubt.

[shum65]

Classic!!!

[4curlers]

This hard rock fan thinks that this is one of the best songs of the 80's. Weird huh?

[76lovelight76]

He might be going to jail:(

[boyrebecka]

Yeah, is that clear now? Is he in fact going to be in jail for 15 years?

[76lovelight76]

I know he has court soon but had no idea it is for 15 years, that is soooooooo sad, i really hope not i love George,

[boyrebecka]

Well, I couldn't be absolutely sure could I, but it says so on Wikipedia if my memory serves.

Yeah, it sucks. Kind of funny, I mean the reason why, he chained up a Norwegian man (I'm Swedish and Sweden, Norway and Denmark are pretty much the same country).

[76lovelight76]

He was sentenced to only 15 months, he was pretty lucky. still love George no matter what he does... can't deny his talent.
